Another possible contender to Apple’s iPad has just been announced at this week’s Mobile World Congress 2010 held in Barcelona – this time it’s OpenPeak’s new OpenTablet 7.

The OpenTablet 7 is a 7-inch slick touch-screen tablet that’s designed to handle multimedia, Internet communications and social media, while at the same time also functioning as a phone. And it measures just 9 inches by 5 inches and is only just 0.6 inches thick.

It comes integrated with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, provides portable access to media and telephony from anywhere in the home, has two cameras (one for stills and another for high-definition video) and it also comes with what’s called a HDMI output for pushing media to any big screen.

Another thing to note is that the OpenTablet 7 doesn’t run on Windows or Linux, instead developers use the Adobe Flash CS4 software to create apps. Furthermore, OpenPeak has rolled out what it’s describing as “an end-to-end deployment solution” so that app developers can sell apps to customers and provide the latest content on the tablet.

At the moment however, OpenPeak hasn’t made any announcements on the pricing for its OpenTablet just yet. But consumers can expect to see the first units roll out sometime in the second half of 2010.

Which makes one kinda wonder – will there be any other newer contenders coming up as well to engage Apple in this brand new “tablet war” ?
